I work in retirement plan consulting.   We started a firm wide list of clients that are changing or outright stopping their employer match or profit sharing contributions.  It is not a short list and we only started compiling it in August.

Jesus. I just quit my job. I've got enough for a year. If I live like Mahatma Gandhi, I'm fine. My accountant says that I did this at a very bad time. My stocks are down. I, uh, I-I-I'm cash-poor or something. I got no cash flow. I'm not liquid or, uh, something's not flowing. I know it. But they got a language all their own, those guys.

No, I mean unemployement approaching double digits.   Or higher.

That will be the least of everyone's concerns if that happens.

That will never happen because they will just change the numbers or decide not to report them.  This is a different world we are living in.

While I never knew there were so many dip shits in this country, the numbers still show we are a 1-4 % difference between who gets in power.

I count on Trump and Company being absolute liars. And so they will not issue numbers that are unfavorable.  But the bright side is they are also incredibly stupid.  Which means they will either just quit issuing reports, or say that we have 100% employment when two out of three of your neighbors were laid off.   

While maggots will have no problem with that, I would bet my life that unemployed people with no health insurance will not react kindly to this administration lying about those issues.  I’m not saying this guarantees a blue wave, but I am saying that the GOP is going to have to put in a lot more work in their election chicanery efforts to pull this off.

Narrator: They were, in fact, putting in a lot more work in their election chicanery efforts.

CNBC guy almost had the right response there. "That sounds like malarkey. Come on, man!"  Not quite.  The  correct response was "Fuck you. Get outta here with your bullshit, you lying piece of shit."

And Bessent has vaulted into the top 5 most punchable faces list with that smug look after saying "Biden."  Holy shit, that guy needs a beating.

Such a fuckin liar!  We all know the truth... it was Hillary and her emails! 

Then again, Hunters huge hog does make me what to stop being a soyboy.  I am sure the Chinese feel this even more.

Imagine that you're the GOP treasury secretary and a conservative CNBC anchor tells you to your face that you made up that story.

One of the articles I read last night said that the number of lower FICO score car loans in default more than 60 days has doubled in the last month.

The article mentioned that keeping a car note current is one of the priorities of people who won’t pay other creditors because everyone needs their car.    However, not being able to afford food or medicine will prime a car note.    

I was about to lease or buy a new vehicle as I get ready for a retirement in a year or two, but I’ve decided to wait a bit because I think there will be a large number of very inexpensive and newish used vehicles on the market in the next year.

It's about to be a good time to be a vulture with cash to spend on distressed assets.  Maybe the best time in our lifetimes.

I agree. Been thinking of that. I read earlier this week that the number or percentage of folks late on their car payments has doubled and is higher than during the 2008 crisis (and the economists interviewed were talking about how it's a very big deal because the car payment is one that most people prioritize first, after shelter because it's so important in US).

ETA: Also a big driver obviously is car payments are like literally twice what they were in 2008 with the average car price being so high and the dearth of cheap/budget/economy vehicles anymore, etc.

Might be able to get some sweet rides on the cheap soon?

No, there won't.

The conundrum is whether to buy the cheap beach front summer property, or the cheap summer mountain cabin.

Do you want to lose that uninsurable property from the Cat 5 hurricane storm surge - or from the uncontrolled wildfire caused by unraked forest floors?

Then things have changed drastically from when my roommate was a car salesman.   And this was before 84 month car notes.
